The Yuqi Dynasty of Corsoaua is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Yoon Su-Hwa with an iron fist, and renowned for its enslaved workforce, vat-grown people, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 9.606 billion Corsens are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Taesung Island. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 91.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Corsen economy, worth a remarkable 4,870 trillion Teetans a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Average income is a breathtaking 507,050 Teetans, with the richest citizens earning 7.4 times as much as the poorest.

Adults have never outgrown their fear of monsters, dynamite sales and concert audiences are booming, the passport doubles as a birth certificate, and popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Corsoaua's national animal is the Shikra, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Cult of Seowon.

Corsoaua is ranked 293,387th in the world and 38th in New Western Atlantic for Lowest Crime Rates, with 3.86 law-abiding acts per hour.
